IMPROVMEN'I' IN .Mo-ITS;

The Schedule'referre to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom t't may cocera r vBe it known that I, BERNHARD LnV-Y,'of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain 'new and useful Improvements in Muffs;` and lI do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the aceomanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. t w VV 4 `'The nature of my inventionf consists in so 'linin'g` a la'cly1s`muff that ,it Vshall form two separate and distihct apartments for the hands,'each closed at one end t i so as toform pockets or mitten's, by which arrangement the comfort of the wearer is' greatly enhanced. The pockets thus formed also serve' a' receptacles for small articles, such aspo'rtem'onnaies, 8m.`

`To enablerothers skilledin'the art to make and use' my invention, 1 will proceed to describe 'its construction and use. 4 l

D'rawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of niy improved mnif.

Figure 2 shows the same in section. The exterioi' of iny mufi` is made in'the usual man; ner, and may be varied in all of the usnal styles to The interior of my muf 'is constructed as shown iu fig.-2. It has really two complete linings, an exterior lining A A' B B', and an interior lining, AC B' A D B'. i i i u Two folds of the interior lining arcstitched on `to the extelior at one end, as shown at B', while the other ends of the same folds are stitched on to the exteriorliniug at the other end, as shown at A, so that two complete mittens orfpookets are formed.`

I do not confine myself to the particular manner of armnging` the inteiior linings, hut wish to claim, as new, the idea of dividing the interior into two cornpartments diagonally, as shown..

Olat'm. I Vhat I claim as niy invention, and desirc to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

A lady7s mntf, when the interioris divided into two compal'tments, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
